🚧 Rushcliffe #Pothole Razzies - #9

📍Castle Hill in East Leake

This spot was reported by 41 constituents through my pothole survey, making it number 9 in our countdown of the most reported potholes across #Rushcliffe.

📰 Last week I attended a drop-in on local news. The #EastMidlands ranks 9/12 UK regions for number of outlets, with #Rushcliffe called a “relative news desert” as the independent West Bridgford Wire bucks the trend. We must all support local journalism.

🙌🏻🏡 Big win for leaseholders in #Rushcliffe.

I welcome plans to cap ground rents at £250 a year, reducing to a peppercorn in future. This will put money back into the pockets of families and pensioners and is a major step towards a fairer leasehold system.

🐶🐾 Animal rescue centres shouldn’t rely on goodwill alone. Many meet high care standards while struggling to stay open. In #Rushcliffe, the Radcliffe Animal Centre costs around £800,000 a year to run and is funded independently. If we’re serious about regulation, we need proper funding.

On Tuesday, we were out at #Rushcliffe Halt and Cutting, clearing the ground for the #GrizzledSkipper. We removed some plants to expose the #grassland, planted Agrimony and Wild Strawberry to attract the butterfly, and had a bonfire to dispose of the woody plants!

🐾 I’m pleased to welcome the government’s new Animal Welfare Strategy published this morning. These are the biggest animal welfare reforms in a generation: ending cruel practices like puppy farming, strengthening protections for farm animals,
and improving standards across #Rushcliffe.

📱📣 Have your say on smartphones and young people...

I’m hosting a panel in #Rushcliffe on 23rd Jan. Before then, I want to hear from you.

Somewhat dry!

Saw a few very near misses between cyclists and pedestrians this morning. All that money and you can't even trim a hedge 🙄

Now that #Nottinghamshire has fallen into the hands of Reform, I have changed my mind about #Rushcliffe Borough Council. I now think it would be better to join #Nottingham City Council in the local authority reorganisation rather than stay outside.

Riddle me this #Rushcliffe. If it's within your power to fix the truly abysmal roads in Rushcliffe, why haven't you already done it? You're in office and have been for years. Why re-elect failure?

Yes! Less scummy Tories per square mile now in #Rushcliffe. 👍🏻
